Audits

Whether you're looking for an external evaluation to strengthen your internal quality assurance processes or seeking a thorough review to assess your readiness for a standard Ofsted inspection, we are here to support you. Our service includes detailed feedback and practical, actionable recommendations to address any areas of improvement or non-compliance, helping you move forward with confidence.

If are looking to register a new independent school and you’ve already submitted your DfE application, secured your premises, and gathered your documentation, our Pre-Registration Audit is designed to ensure you're fully prepared for Ofsted’s Pre-Registration inspection. We'll guide you through each requirement, helping you identify any gaps and address them proactively. You can also make use of our specialist resources, including our comprehensive Pre-Registration Checklist, to support your final preparations.

Independent schools are required to obtain prior approval from the Secretary of State for any changes to their registered details including the proprietor, school address, age range, capacity, gender of entry, boarding provision, or special educational needs admissions. Where deemed necessary, the Department for Education may commission Ofsted to carry out a material change inspection. We offer dedicated support, including a tailored audit to assess your school’s readiness for this inspection and help ensure a successful outcome.

The latest Ofsted inspection statistics show that over half of schools fail to demonstrate compliance with previously unmet standards during progress monitoring inspections. If your school has already submitted its action plan to the Department for Education and you believe it has been effectively implemented, wouldn’t it be valuable to gain insight from an experienced professional ahead of your progress monitoring inspection? We’re here to help.
